Carib Territory
–
The Carib Territory, also known as the Carib Reserve or Kalinago Territory, is a 3, 700-acre district in the Caribbean island-nation of Dominica. It was established for the indigenous Carib people, also known as the Kalinago, the Carib Territory was officially formed by British colonial authorities in 1903, in a remote and mountainous area of Dominicas Atlantic coast. Its population remained isolated from the rest of the island throughout most of the 20th century, with only a ceremonial chief. The Chief was reinstated in 1952, and formalized local government was instituted the same year as part of an island-wide system. The Carib Reserve Act, enacted the year of Dominicas independence in 1978, reaffirmed the Carib Territorys boundaries, its land management, the present population of the Carib Territory is estimated around 3,000 Caribs. Legal residents share communal ownership of all land within the Territory, the administrative centre is in Salybia, the largest of eight hamlets in the Carib Territory. A modern movement in the Carib Territory has supported the rediscovery and this has been fueled in part by Dominicas tourist industry. A model Carib village was established in the Territory in 2006, Dominica is the only Eastern Caribbean island that still has a population of pre-Columbian native Caribs, who were exterminated or driven from neighbouring islands. The Caribs on Dominica fought against the Spanish and later European settlers for two centuries, over time, however, their population declined and they were forced into remote regions of the island as European settlers and imported African slaves grew in number on the island. Later colonial officials were unable to locate any record of a deed for the 232 acres. European settlers continued attempts to turn the Carib lands into plantations through the end of the 18th century, but the Caribs successfully held out, often with the assistance of runaway slaves. In 1902, Henry Hesketh Bell, the Administrator of Dominica and he proposed that 3,700 acres be set aside for the Caribs, and that a Carib chief be officially recognized and given a token annual allowance of 6 pounds. Bells proposals were adopted in 1903, formally establishing the Carib Reserve and its boundaries were announced in the Official Gazette of Dominica on 4 July 1903. The Carib Chief was subsequently endowed with a staff. At the time the Carib Reserve was established, the Carib population of around 400 was extremely isolated from the rest of Dominica, but the community appreciated the token symbols. When the police tried to seize a quantity of rum and tobacco and to take away suspects in Salybia, the police fired into the crowd, injuring four, of whom two later died. The police were beaten but managed to escape to Marigot, without having seized prisoners or contraband, marines landed to aid local police in the search for the perpetrators of the disturbance. Accurate news of the incident was difficult to come by, the Times incorrectly reported that Caribs had looted and rioted in the capital, Roseau

The island is known to them as Ponso no Tao Island of the people or Irala, out of a total current population of 4000, approximately 2400 belong to the aboriginal Tao community and the remaining 1600 are mainly Han Chinese. In neighboring Philippines the island is referred to as Botel Tobago, the Lanyu nuclear waste storage facility was built in 1982 without prior consultation with the islands Tao natives. The plant receives nuclear waste from Taiwans three nuclear power plants operated by state utility Taiwan Power Company, about 100,000 barrels of nuclear waste from the nation’s three operational nuclear power plants have been stored at the Lanyu complex. In 2002 and 2012, there were protests from local residents. The island was first mapped on Japanese charts as Tabako-shima in the early 17th century, the Chinese, who had no contact with the inhabitants of the island, called it Ang-thau-su, from which it was called Kōtō-sho during Japanese rule. The Japanese government declared the island an ethnological research area off-limits to the public and this restriction remained in effect when the Republic of China took over Taiwan in 1945, but was lifted in 1967.

The rock on the island is volcanic tholeiite andesite, and volcanic explosive fragments, the volcano erupted in the Miocene period. It is part of the Luzon Volcanic Arc, magma was formed from underthrusting oceanic crust under compression about 20 km deep. The andesite rock contains some visible crystals of pyroxene or amphibole, the geochemistry of the rock shows it is enriched in sodium, magnesium and nickel, but depleted in iron, aluminium, potassium, titanium, and strontium. As the island is within the tropics, the experiences a warm. Rainfall, abundant throughout the year, cools the temperature significantly, lesser Orchid Island, an uninhabited volcanic islet near the main Orchid Island, is the southernmost point of Taitung County.
